Description

When an attempt is made to load the above URL, the browser window hangs.

The menu still works even though the browser is toasted, but attempts to select "quit" are ignored.

The only way to exit the browser is "kill" via terminal.

Maybe related (maybe not) but FF even crashes for me.

Maybe a Mac Issue. No problem on Win2K  FF 1.5 beta 1

Confirmed. This seems to be caused by a Java applet on the page. I can get the page to load, but using the applet causes the browser to eat up all cpu time. OS X reports the app as not responding, and force quit must be used.

I just checked the page, it still gives me a hang, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007100904 Minefield/3.0a9pre.

But how do i get a stack for a hang? (the browser doesn't crash)

This wfm on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3.  Please update to 3.0.3 and try again.  

Unless you're on a debug build, i'm unaware of a way to get a stack track without using crash reporter.   If you are on debug build, check out https://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report.
